About Port Solent

Port Solent is a distinctive waterfront destination on the northern edge of Portsmouth, built around a modern marina and a lively marina-village setting. Designed to bring together waterside living, leisure, and local convenience, it offers a relaxed atmosphere with wide promenades, sheltered views, and an ever-changing backdrop of boats and harbour activity.

At its heart is the marina and The Boardwalk, creating a natural focal point for everyday life and weekends alike. Whether you are enjoying a walk along the water, meeting friends locally, or making the most of nearby fitness and leisure facilities, Port Solent combines the character of a coastal location with straightforward access to the wider city and surrounding area.

Eat & Drink

Port Solent’s marina-side Boardwalk has a strong mix of places to eat and drink, ideal for everything from quick lunches to relaxed evenings by the water. Popular options include O Sole Mio, Koh Thai, Zizzi, La Casa Flamenca, Wildwood, Yaprak, Prezzo, and Relentless Steak & Lobster House, all within the waterfront village.

The setting is part of the appeal, with many venues looking onto the marina and a pace that suits casual catch-ups and weekend meals. For the latest list and opening details, check out the Port Solent website.

Shopping

Shopping at Port Solent centres around the marina-edge boutiques and The Trading Post, offering a mix of lifestyle and practical services in a compact, walkable area. Examples include Cotton Traders, Pavers, Klass, and outdoor retailers such as Runners Need and Snow+Rock.
